Calling all “urban farmers” – explore the growing urban gardening scene tonight at Evergreen Brick Works! In this installment of the GE Cafe Chefs Series: Food for Thought, Anthony Rose, Executive Chef at The Drake Hotel, along with Rebekka Hutton, Urban Agriculture Manager for Evergreen, will help you learn how you can grow your own food at home.

Food security is an increasingly important issue, and growing your own food is a great way to up your food self-sufficiency. Rose’s emphasis on fresh and local ingredients, coupled with Hutton’s urban agriculture expertise, will make for an informative and fascinating evening which will include an interactive cooking demonstration, time to enjoy a meal, and a fascinating discussion about the merits of harvesting your own food right here in Toronto.

Each of the GE Café Chefs Series workshops cost $60 per person, and take place at the Centre for Green Cities from 6-9pm. Register now at the Evergreen Brickworks’ website.
